They're right. Don't reg names with obvious tm in them.

its called Cybersquatting; Cybersquatting (also known as domain squatting)! Who cares what is selling in the market, don't be part of it! It's that simple.

I would guess that the only reason Mozilla not threaten to sue you is that Mozilla is a non-profit "nice" organization. See previous threads in "domian name legal issues" to see what "strong-arm" letters from companies look like. But it comes to it, they might get meaner.

I did not look it up, but I gather Mozilla has no other meaning in English or other major languages?
